The world's third IVF baby, Candice Reed was born on [[June 23]], [[1980]] in [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]]. And Brittany on the same date in 1991 in New Zealand.

The first successful IVF treatment in the [[United States|USA]] (producing Elizabeth Jordan Carr) took place in 1981 under the direction of doctors Howard Jones and [[Georgeanna Seegar Jones]] in [[Norfolk, Virginia|Norfolk]], [[Virginia]]. Since then IVF has exploded in popularity, with as many as 1% of all births now being conceived in-vitro, with over 115,000 born in the USA to date. At present, the percentage of children born after IVF (including with [[intracytoplasmic sperm injection]] (ICSI)) has been up to 4% of all babies born in [[Denmark]].
